L to R they are Cervia,now 20 years old,Wyola, an Australian built tug.Twin motors and Kort nozzles.and Old Trafford, MSC paddle tuc in 1/35 scale. All are totally scratch built. The only things bought were materials,paint and glue, Except the stantions for Old Trafford. Currenly finishing a Maycraft Mercury(started in 1962 in England) and a Vosper fireboat.Hope this may be of interest

Many thanks for the information Dave M I am about to put the rubbing strips and the chine strips on. Still a fair bit to do but I suppose after this length of time there is no rush!. I have a few other models to sail,Cervia,Yarra tug Manchester Ship Canal Old Trafford paddle tug (all scratch built) and when the Mercury is finished I will start the 34" RAF fireboat, for which I have the drawing. When I learn how to I will forward some pictures.

I am just completing a Maycraft Mercury which I started before leaving England to emigrate to Australia.Now after fifty years( does that qualify as vintage?)I am about to Install the motor. My question, what would any one recommend. I do not want a high speed perfomance, more like a scale speed. Can someone advise. Would appreciate It.
